Fenton's an odd one to me. I think he's great and the coaches have done a phenomenal job with him. Not a great athlete but sticky, really good concentration and competitiveness. I'm surprised more people don't rate him here and that fewer people aren't less wild on Sneed. He has a much lower ceiling but he's shown way more consistency to me.
If the NFL rates Fenton as little as a lot on CP I'd pay him, because it sounds like we'd get him at a decent price. [Reply]
That was a great jam he put on Adams on that last play. Adams is one of the hardest guys in the league to do that to. Might’ve saved the game for us. [Reply]

Spags brought the house and left him out there with Adams. Risky but it worked out. [Reply]

He blew it up. Disrupted the timing and caused Adams and Renfrow to collide. If McDuffie lives up to that 1st round pick we’re gonna have 3 good CBs on rookie deals for the next 4 years. [Reply]

Coaches said during training camp that Joshua Williams was very good at his technique on press coverage. [Reply]

Exactly.
Press coverage isn't designed to keep guys blanketed for 5 seconds or stuff them at the LOS. It's designed to do nothing more than fuck up the timing and ruin route combinations.
The defense worked EXACTLY as it was drawn up. Nobody's going to stay in Adams pocket on a 'gotta have it' play - he's just too damn good. But if you can throw the timing of the play off, you've won the rep.
In the key play of the game, with their big money WR against our mid-round pick, our guy won the rep.
There's simply no way to overstate how huge that is. [Reply]

I think we've seen, to Spags credit and detriment, that he's going to expect anyone he puts on that field to run the defense.
He's done it with Watson/Williams this year. He did it with Niemann and Sorensen last year.
I'm not sure it's that they felt 'comfortable' with Williams 1v1 vs. Adams - he was simply the next guy up and Spags called the defense he'd have called regardless of the personnel on the field. Because that's what he does, even when there's very little justification for it.
This time it worked out because our guy executed. [Reply]
